Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 podcast.
I want to tell you out front, up front, right here at the top.
I don't know how I'm gonna get it all in today.
I mean, I could do it if I didn't spend much time on anything, but then I wouldn't be me, and you wouldn't benefit.
Because anybody can tell you about things, but only I can tell you what to think about them.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
It's not just that.
Not just that only I can tell you what to think about it.
Only I properly explain it all to you.
It's open line Friday, folks.
That's another element that we want to squeeze into today's programming content, that is phone calls from you.
And on Friday, pretty much whatever you wish to talk about is fine.
We're also going to add another element to the program today, which we very rarely do.
And that is we're going to have a guest.
Yes, indeed.
Guest is going to be on the phone, Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, went to the floor of the United States Senate today and called Mitch McConnell a liar.
Numerous times called Mitch McConnell a liar, accused him of lying, gave examples of it.
Watched it on C-SPAN 2, and I've got to talk to him about this.
We've got the audio sound bites of it to roll for you here in just a second.
It's about the export import bank, and there's another phony.
I don't know how dumb they think we are.
It's another phony repeal Obamacare vote that McConnell has offered the Republican senators in exchange for a vote to uh continue the export import.
But folks, if we can't cut the export import bank, which you know there's a term out there, crony capitalism, crony socialism.
It's neither of the two.
Capitalism, so this is just cronyism.
It's just pure cronyism.
And what's that?
The export import bank is corporate welfare.
And I'm gonna tell you, it used to be that that was a term exclusively used by the left.
And whenever we heard that term used, we always re rejected it.
This is some years ago now.
But it's it's accurate.
It's a there is no reason the federal government needs to be funneling taxpayer dollars to corporations.
And it's not just with the export import bank.
That's just one vehicle for doing it.
And what it has led to is the interests of the American people and the interests of voters being subordinated to financial interests and their power.
Which is lobbyists and donors and what have you.
Anyway, Ted Cruz went to the floor in the Senate today and called everybody out on it.
I've never seen anything like this.
He said there's no difference in Ted Cruz and Harry Reed.
McConnell and Harry Reid.
No difference in in Mitch McConnell and Harry Reed.
Stop and think about that.
So uh Senator Cruz will be here about an hour from now, a little bit less than an hour from now.
Let me just give you headlines of other things that we want to get in today.
Chamber of Commerce gearing up to take out Republican incumbents.
Chamber of Commerce.
Well, now wait a minute.
I'm sure a lot of you think the Chamber of Commerce is a very Republican group.
Wall Street Journal editorial page loves them.
That used to be true too, folks.
But one of three things has happened.
Either the Chamber of Commerce has been co-opted and corrupted by the left, which I think has happened, or the Chamber of Commerce never has been, particularly conservative, uh, within the context of you would assume businesses are conservative, wanting the government to be out of their world, out of their life, not regulate them.
Maybe the chamber never has been that.
And uh so we'll find out uh where a lot of people come down on this because the chamber course is leading the Republican Party down the Path of agreeing with Obama on amnesty for illegal immigrants.
And such august conservative locales as the Wall Street Journal editorial page have supported the chamber.
As have many Republican establishment leaders, obviously, money comes from them.
But now they're gearing up to take out GOP incumbents.
That's that headline, by the way, is not entirely accurate.
It should say chamber gearing up to take out GOP conservatives.
Now they don't name any names yet.
The purpose of this first story is to instill fear in the minds of Republicans in Washington, elected Republicans wondering if they could be on the list.
Could they be targeted?
It's all about changing behavior.
It's all about changing votes.
Mrs. Clinton is still in the news.
Criminal investigation.
Sought over Hillary Clinton's emails.
The request by two inspectors general.
Follows a June 29th memo to the State Department, under Secretary of State for Management, Patrick Kennedy.
Found that Clinton's email server had hundreds of potentially classified emails.
She has been found, according to the IGs here, to have lied repeatedly about specific things, allegations, questions about her mail server.
There's a companion story to this.
New York Times alters Clinton email story.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton didn't like this story as it originally ran, so Huma, I guess what happened to Huma, Huma Wiener, probably sent the Times a text in all caps, saying Hillary doesn't like, and the Times changed the story.
The New York Times changed two elements of the story to make it less damaging to Mrs. Clinton.
The details are coming up.
And the speaking of Mrs. Clinton in Chappaqua, New York, remember the piece we had last week about the Obama administration using new fair housing rules to just arbitrarily claim that any community they want to claim is racist just because they want to claim it, and thereby demanding and allowing integration in whatever neighborhood they want in terms of housing.
Westchester County, one of the stories that we cited.
Westchester County is under assault by the Obama administration and is on the verge of losing control over how they run their local business.
Zoning laws and this kind of thing.
Everything that we were warned was on the docket is beginning to happen regarding this.
And this is something really under the radar, according to the Drive by Media.
You will not see this story even dreamed about in the drive-by media.
So we'll have details on that.
Planned Parenthood has removed names of corporate donors from its website, and it turns out that they had a lot of company names on their website that they said were donors, and the companies now say they never were.
Most of these companies are well known, widely known.
Many of them are saying, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We never gave Planned Parenthood a dime.
We have allowed our employees, we have matched.
If our employees give Planned Parenthood money, but we have not done so.
Not all of them, but a number of them, but a lot of them are running for the tall grass on this.
The videos are indeed having an impact.
Donald Trump at the Mexican border.
A drive-by media reporter, I think for the Washington Post, expressed shock and dismay at Trump's press conference yesterday in Laredo.
You know what she said?
She said he took over that press conference.
He took over that press conference.
He dominated that press conference like a seasoned political veteran.
We had no idea he had that ability.
And in that press conference, there's this uh MSNBC reporter, and I guess this guy used to be in Congress too.
Jose Diaz Ballart.
Or Bayart.
It's from South Florida from Miami.
I always thought the Diaz Bayarts were Republicans, though.
Where did I get that idea?
They were.
Well, I thought they were.
Well, they're not acting like it the last couple, three, ten years, whatever it is.
Anyway, Jose Diaz Mayart started asking Trump a question.
What do you mean?
58 Mexicans and Hispanics, rugged and rapists, and I didn't talk about that.
I was talking about illegal immigration, and you know it, and it's what you people do.
You take two sentences here and another sentence over here, totally unrelated, and you combine them.
That's not what I said, and you know that you're a loser.
You're finished.
And the Washington Post said, man, he took control of his press conference.
Like I've never seen anybody like a seasoned veteran.
The Iranian nuke deal.
John Kerry has admitted.
Yesterday we had the story.
Many of you didn't believe it.
John Kerry's now admitted the United States will help protect Iran's nuclear program from sabotage.
I know, I know.
Many of you heard that story yesterday and you didn't believe it.
What do you mean?
I had emails on it.
We're going to defend Iran.
Say if Israel wants to take out some nuke sites.
Yeah, we are pledged to shield Iran's nuclear program from sabotage.
Say a computer hack will defend them against that.
Any kind of a military attack.
We'll defend them against that, even if it is from Israel.
And try this.
This is a new addition.
During Thursday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Iran nuclear agreement, Secretary of State John Kerry said the goal of the negotiations was never to dismantle Iran's entire nuclear program, but rather to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons.
However, Secretary Kerry has a bit of a problem because he said in 2013 that the whole point of sanctions was to get Iran to dismantle its nuclear program.
So old Lurch steps in it again.
They keep putting bags of excrement in front of Trump, hoping he's going to step in them, and instead Kerry is.
Can you believe this?
We never had, as a goal of the negotiations, to dismantle Iran's nuclear program.
That's not what we were trying to do.
What has been the point of it from the beginning is to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon?
Kerry says, no, no, no, no, no.
That was never our plan.
And it's true because in 10 to 15 years, Max, they get one.
And yet it was Kerry himself in 2013 who said the whole point of sanctions was to get Iran to dismantle its nuclear program.
So what Kerry is saying, hey, look, if they'll dismantle their program, and if we can make them do that, fine.
But we're not going to pressure them to do it in negotiations.
Oh, folks, we are.
We are so at risk.
And the White House, this is in the Hill.com, the White House says that the Iran.
It's basically two side deals we've been talking about.
They're not side deals.
They're not secret side deals.
They are separate deals.
But they're not side deals.
The Republicans have this all wrong.
This is from the White House press secretary and a number of them.
Meanwhile, oh, speaking, Mrs. Clinton, did you hear she said that I want to get this right.
What did she say?
She said that if you walk down the street, she said, a sight, the site of a black man in a hoodie.
Think Trayvon Martin.
If Obama had a son, that's who he would be look like.
Hillary Clinton said, the sight of a black man in a hoodie creates fear among even open-minded white people.
Well, you know what?
I'll tell you something.
Even for a lot of well-meaning open-minded people, the sight of an older woman in a pantsuit still evokes a twinge of fear, too.
And Mrs. Clinton, can you imagine if Anybody else had said this?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Uh sight of a black guy in a hoodie creates even what she's really saying, even the most well intentioned white people are still a bunch of racist pigs, is what she is saying.
And the Washington Post is worried and puzzled and confused.
Where are all the young voters?
Held over from yesterday, Carly Fiorina schooling Jake Tapper and the rest of the Republicans on how to deal with the media when they try to pigeonhole Republicans in interviews about abortion.
Carly Fiorina taking Jake Tapper to school and showing every other Republican how to do it.
Another holdover from yesterday.
Many people asked me to explain how in the world Apple stock price could fall after a record-setting earnings quarter.
I'll be happy to make an attempt at explaining it.
And air conditioning is the next target of the environmentalist wackos.
Do not doubt me.
Take a break here.
We'll come back and we'll get started with Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate today.
Just going after his leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, in a way I've not seen done.
And again, a reminder, Ted Cruz will lead off the next hour here talking about this.
Take a break and come back and let you hear what I'm talking about if you are not aware of it.
Don't go away.
Okay, I just got a John Kerry soundbite.
And before we get to Ted Cruz, you gotta hear this.
We just had the news that John Kerry said, hey, we were never ever about dismantling their program.
We were what the hell were we doing then?
Why even get into an agreement?
Well, we wanted to make sure they didn't get those agreements while we were in power.
That's right.
I want to make sure that the Iranians get their nuclear deal going when the Republicans are in the White House and get blamed for it.
Right.
This morning in New York at the Council on Foreign Relations.
The New World Order.
The President Richard Haas interviewed Secretary Kerry for the benefit of the audience.
All the new world order conspirators, many of them in the media.
Barbara Walters is probably there.
She's a member.
CFR.
At any rate, Richard Haas and Carrie are talking about the Ayatollah hominy and his death to America chance and what that all means.
Do you think the Ayatollah is going to come back to the table if Congress refuses this and negotiate again?
We're very restrained in what we did.
We didn't, there's no signing vote.
There's no sort of gift for, you know, saying you'll do something.
You have to do something to get anything.
I also told them that their chance of death to America and so forth are neither helpful and they're pretty stupid.
It's certainly that's a chuckling thing.
I also told the Ayatollah Hominy that their chance of death to America and so forth, they're not helpful and they're pretty stupid.
Do you think Kerry really told the Ayatollah Hominy that he's stupid?
Anyway, you heard the conspirators at the Council on Foreign Relations laugh about this.
But even before that, I mean this just does not sound when you when you think of Americans off negotiating with the bad guys of the world.
You think of uh mental giants like Henry Kissinger, any number of others, and then you get this guy showing up at the CFR for a sit-down interview with the head of Hancho of the CFR so that Carrie can brief these people.
You think the Ayatollah is gonna come back to the table if Congress refuses this And negotiate again.
The point is not what do you mean negotiate again?
We're very restrained in what we did.
We didn't.
There's no signing bonus.
Oh, Hardy Harhar, yuck yuck.
There's no sort of gift for you, you know, saying you'll do something.
You have to do something to get anything.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I haven't the slightest idea.
You know, I once asked Henry Kissinger about his negotiations with the North Vietnamese in Paris, and I was serious.
I said, Dr. Kissinger, your intellect is well known.
It's unique.
What did you have to do?
Were the North Vietnamese negotiators anywhere near their intellectual ability and capacity?
Well, maybe it doesn't question, and uh truth of the answer is that they're just uh brutal, totally brutal brutality that did deal with them on several dividend levels and so forth.
But we got it done, didn't we?
It's a great question.
Great, great, great question.
It's open line Friday, Rushlin Baugh executing a signed host duties flawlessly, zero mistakes.
Here's Ted Cruz this morning on the floor of the United States Senate.
This is a debate on the highway bill, actually, highway mass transit spending.
But what this is really about is the export import bank and its reauthorization, and the export import bank is simply cronyism.
It is United States Congress funneling taxpayer dollars to corporate Boeing is one of the big recipients, by the way, of money from the export import bank.
And most of these corporations have a healthy bottom line.
They don't need it.
But of course, rule of thumb in money is always use somebody else's if you can.
I don't subscribe to that, by the way.
I'm I don't, I just don't.
But it seems to be the normal way big business operates.
Use somebody else's money.
Borrow it if you have to, get a good repayment schedule.
Uh corporations the same thing.
And what's changed in the last 25 years, I mean it's always had there's always been a degree of this, but now it especially, especially in the last six and a half years.
I mean, you have GE, any number of businesses who've been throwing away and casting aside the best interests of the country.
And one of the advantages of getting in bed with Washington is you are able to nail your competitors who don't get in bed in Washington because they can't.
Why, you know, Boeing is in bed, but nobody else is, they get assistance.
Anyway, Cruz goes to the Senate floor and explains that he's been lied to by Mitch McConnell.
So let's just get started.
And I I tell I have not heard anything like this before.
You know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington type stuff here.
First one coming up.
I asked the majority leader very directly, what was the deal that was just cut on TPA, and was there a deal for the export-import bank?
It was a direct question.
I asked the majority leader in front of all of the Republican senators.
The majority leader was visibly angry with me that I would ask such a question.
And the majority leader looked at me and said, There is no deal, there is no deal, there is no deal.
Like St. Peter, he repeated it three times.
As TPA moved on as it went to the House, it became abundantly clear there was a deal.
There was a deal in the House for the export-import bank.
And so the second time TPA came up, I voted no because of that corrupt deal.
Goes on next to describe uh how in another instance Mitch McConnell refused to act on a Marco Rubio amendment on the Iran deal and instead behave just like Harry Reid.
I urge the majority leader, invoke cloture on Senator Rubio's amendment, calling on Iran to recognize Israel's right to exist and setting that as a precondition any lifting of sanctions.
I argued vociferously with the majority leader that if the Democrats were so opposed to voting on that amendment, that was all the more reason because it was important substantively, and the majority leader said no.
He would not Do so that invoking cloture on an amendment was an extraordinary step, and he wouldn't do so.
So he cut off every amendment.
The same procedural abuse that Harry Reid did over and over and over again in this body.
Now the Republican leader is behaving like the senior senator from Nevada.
Now the point of all this, and Cruz got to, we can't play everything, and that's why we have him on here the next hour to get into detail about this.
But he went on to explain that these Republicans are running for election, promising you that they're going to fight the Democrats, and they're going to do everything they can to end Obamacare to make sure that executive amnesty is done, it's not no, whatever.
They make all these promises.
They get to Washington, as we all know, and the promises go by the wayside.
But it's worse than that.
It's not just the promises go by the wayside.
The Republicans end up joining the Democrats in trying to defeat the conservatives in the Congress and in the Senate.
Now, in this instance, they were talking about lifting Iran sanctions, and Rubio had an amendment.
He wanted a an amendment in this.
Well, he wanted a statement in the amendment that would recognize Iran would have to recognize Israel's right to exist as a precondition for lifting any sanctions.
And Cruz said that he argued with McConnell that if the Democrats were so opposed to voting on that, that that's all the better.
Let's expose them on this.
Let's for political reasons, let's expose the Democrats and their unwillingness to treat Israel as an ally.
And McConnell would have no part of it, according to Cruz, wanted no part of it.
This was an important substantive thing.
McConnell said no, he wouldn't do it, because invoking cloture on an amendment's an extraordinary.
In other words, we're not we're not going to go that far astray from the traditional way we've operated here in the Senate.
And Cruz's, well, Harry Reed did this kind of stuff.
Harry Reid bottled things up like you're bottling things up.
You're just like Harry Reid here.
Finally, Cruz vents the frustration that every Republican voter has felt with Congress since 2010.
There is a profound disappointment among the American people.
Because we keep winning elections, and then we keep getting leaders who don't do anything they promised.
The American people were told, you know, the problem is the Senate.
If only we get a Republican majority in the Senate and retire Harry Reid as majority leader, then things will be different.
What has that majority done?
We came back and passed a trillion-dollar Cromnibus plan filled with pork and corporate welfare.
That was the very first thing we did.
Then this Republican majority voted to fund Obamacare, voted to fund President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty, and then leadership rammed through the confirmation of Loretta Lynch as attorney general.
Madam President, which of those decisions would be one iota different if Harry Reid were still majority leader?
Not a one.
Bingo is exactly right.
I mean, the whole thing was a stem-winding bar burner.
And I lost count of the number of times Senator Cruz directly challenged Mitch McConnell as a liar, lying to him personally, lying to the Republican caucus about things.
And if you want to know why Donald Trump is resonating with people, you know, I saw somebody in the drive-by media today.
Maybe it wasn't Dr. No, it was somebody at PJ Media, don't remember who made the point, hey, you know, Trump's not resonating because he's Trump.
Trump's resonating because he's channeling the anger.
Well, how do you separate the two?
It is Trump because he's the only one that is actually behaving in ways Republican voters thought they were going to get in 2010 and 2012 or 14 in the midterms.
Anyway, that was not the Only experience Ted Cruz had uh that was this morning, yesterday he took on Code Pink.
And again, Ted Cruz will be here in about uh 25 minutes with much more detail about what happened on the floor of the Senate today.
But yesterday in front of the White House uh during a concerned women for America rally, Ted Cruz was speaking.
Now, this is a great example of what everybody says conservatism needs to be of good cheer.
We can't be dour and sour and mean spirited and negative.
We gotta be we gotta be of good cheer.
We gotta be laughing.
We're gonna be enjoying life.
We're gonna be upbeat.
We gotta be well.
Here is an example of that.
Ted Cruz calmly, respectfully debating the lunatics from Code Pink for 20 minutes who tried to show up and blow this event up.
We can have a discussion if we actually have a discussion without being shattered.
If this deal goes through, three things will happen.
Number one, over a hundred billion dollars will flow to Iran that they will use to fund Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and radical Islamic terrorists, those billions of dollars will be used to fund jihadists that will murder Americans, that will murder Israelis that will murder Europeans.
Does that make any sense?
Okay, now the leader of Code Pink is this lunatic by the name of Dea Benjamin.
And Cruz let her say her piece, which is right out of the Kerry Obama hymnal.
No, it doesn't make any sense because the only way that we're going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon if indeed they're trying to get one, is to have this deal.
That's not just what President Obama and John Kerry are saying.
That's what British are saying, the French are saying the Chinese are saying the Russians are saying uh the Australians are saying New Zealand is saying, Jordan is saying.
What makes you think, as Ted Cruz, you know better than all of these countries together?
You don't.
And Cruz came back at her.
Thank you, ma'am.
And I respect your right to speak.
You did not respond to the irrefutable point that this deal will send over a hundred billion dollars to Iran, and those billions of dollars will be used to murder Americans by jihadists.
The folks in Code Pink like to hold up signs saying peace with Iran.
Do you know who doesn't reciprocate those views?
Iran.
In the midst of this negotiation, the Ayatollah Kamei led thousands of Iranians in chanting death to America while they burned American flags and Israeli flags.
Iran has stated its objective to murder as many Americans as possible.
They are not seeking peace.
What happened to Code Pink?
They normally try to shout everybody down during things like this.
What happened to Minea Benjamin?
Where was she?
Well, she was there.
She had nothing to say.
He treated her with respect.
He acknowledged her points and then told her that she was not responding to his.
And by the way, at that moment, Ted Cruz didn't know, because we only learned later that John Kerry got hold of the Ayatollah hominy and told him to stop with this Death to America stuff, that it was silly and stupid.
And it was a problem.
And the Ayatollah hominy said, okay, I'll stop chanting Death to America.
Ted Cruz didn't know that Kerry had warned the Ayatollah.
You didn't hear that because you were screening calls.
He told Ayatollah, all this deaf to America stuff is silly and to stop it.
And next next he's gonna, yeah, next he's gonna call Vladimir Putin.
Look at don't fly those bear bombers so close to Mendocino County.
You realize, I mean, that's not good.
And then Putin will reportedly say, okay, all right, we'll stop.
I bet he did.
I do but I believe Kerry called the Ayatollah and said, hey, stop with the death to America.
And I believe the Ayrtola hung up and looked at Rouani and the rest of the mullahs and said, Good bless Allah for delivering us such a fool.
Sir, I recognize that you find the truth very offensive.
But under the First Amendment, the base means you have to listen to things you disagree with.
And I have listened to what you have said.
I would ask you to show the same courtesy, particularly since you have come to our event and crash them.
We have shown you respect and civility.
Ted Cruz, that's all in front of the light.
Ted Cruz, that's all in front of the light.
I guess the computer's out of control.
Anyway, go ahead.
I I couldn't tell what would have you played with the next Cruz bite there.
Let's just let's hit the break and we'll come back and continue here in just a second.
Open line Friday.
Always try to get started on the phones in the first hour.
As uh part of the deal.
Uh turning the content of the program over to you when we go to the phone.
So we start Long Beach, California with John.
Thanks for calling, sir.
You are up.
Hi, Rush.
How you doing?
I um I interviewed you one time many years ago in Long Beach, but uh when you're here for one of your back around 1992 when you were emerging as a as a force.
But anyway, that's that's not what I called about.
I wanted to agree with you and your contention that I've been in the newspaper business in journalism for 36 years now.
My I started the first week I started was when the uh hostage crisis started nineteen seventy-nine.
So I, you know, I have a I I I uh go back that far.
And I can tell you that there's no doubt, and you said it before, that and I'm a member of good standing with a lot of these people, but I become more conservative as I've as I've gotten older.
And they haven't, and you know, when I we when I disagree with them, I get looked at like uh, you know, you seem like such an intelligent guy, John.
I mean, how could you possibly be talking this way?
And I think the reason is, and I know you've mentioned it too, that they view conservative thought as evil from the going back when we were all baby boomers trying to save the world and everything.
They view it as evil, and anything you do to be evil is is considered to be um is considered to be okay, like Harry Harry Reed.
He does the uh when he does that about uh Mitt Romney.
That's okay for them to do it because they're beating the bad guy, the evil.
And it doesn't matter.
That's that's how they justify it.
And that's that's why uh the the New York Times, which I don't can I've uh shocked my journalistic friends by saying I don't think it's a great newspaper because it's too imbalanced in its coverage about important issues, they will never do the the Hillary Clinton kill shot.
They will never do it on Benghazi.
They would do it for somebody else, or they won't because they don't want to bring themselves to uh uh we're on the uh you know to to take it out, to take her out, because uh she represents a a bigger cause.
You know, I y I could go on and give you other examples.
But um I you know I think that's what that that's that's what prevails, and I can tell you straight up that's what happens.
You mentioned some like some of the the other day, somebody said, Well, the im the immigration is broken.
Immigration system's broken.
I just asked, Well, who broke it?
You know?
And you could just feel like the the disappointment.
You know, of course I'm pointing out that the you know the Well now, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Well, that when that when they say the immigration system is broken, they say the law isn't working, and that's wrong.
The immigration system is being corrupted.
Like everything else, the law is the law and it works.
It's just not being enforced, it's being corrupted.
And then when that happens, they claim the law isn't good anymore.
The law is not accommodating current reality, like they say about the Constitution, the second amendment and so forth.
Um Yeah, they I know they look at conservatism as evil, but they look at it as uh otherworldly too.
They actually I know this is gonna be hard for people to believe.
It's a psychological thing.
Most Uber leftists do not even think of themselves as that.
I mean this psychologically.
They think they are normal.
They call themselves pragmatists.
Anything not them is what's odd.
Weird, kooky.
Uh major, major minority.
Really, really small.
Unhip, uncool, whatever.
They are ideologues, but it's it's they they they don't they don't have to to calculate their ideology every day.
It's just who they are and it's how they operate, and it is what guides them.
I mean, they are that first, second, and third.
They are liberals first, liberals second, liberals third, whatever else they are, then weighs in.
Uh but they're not open to an alternative point of view, because there isn't one in their minds.
There is no other side to any story.
It's just a bunch of kooks over there who've got this crazy ass belief system that, gee, man, it's weird.
And people they treat people that way.
It's not very complicated at all.
Quick timeout, back with more in a moment.
On the floor of the United States Senate today, Texas Senator Ted Cruz went right after the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, and fired both barrels.
Accused him of lying to the American people and to the United States Senate, other Republicans.
